about 20-30% of the time when I teleport to a player home I get an endless load screen. This seems to have started with the latest update and is infuriating. Please fix it.

    You ain't the only one, and it isn't only in housing.
    I've experienced it in PvE, PvP, Housing.. even running around randomly.

    Although, are you in a group? I find them to be endless more frequently if I'm in a group. If I get kicked from the group - I'm out of the loading screen within a few seconds.

    PC-EU
    An endless loading screen occurred twice yesterday after I selected a character to play while the character was in a Homestead. First is the loading screen for the character, then the loading screen for the Homestead in which the character is located. The second one often fails to complete within 5 minutes, if not longer.

    Ordinarily, two loading screens are displayed after I select which character to play:
    1. A loading screen is shown while the game client to receives data for that character from the megaserver, and it probably continues while all of the add-ons that the player uses for that character are loaded, too.
    2. Eventually, it is replaced by another loading screen for the "instance" in which the character is located, such as Stonefalls, Craglorn, Summerset, Vvardenfell, The Clockwork City, a Homestead, or a Dungeon.
    For what it is worth, when I began playing TESO over three years ago, only the loading screen for the "instance" where the character was located was ordinarily displayed. I cannot recall when it became routine to see the first loading screen shown before the second one above.

    Regardless, all of the processes that are obstensibly occurring while a loading screen is displayed have taken increasingly longer to complete during the past six months or so.

    Ironically, in the Patch Notes for one release Bethesda stated that they were aware of the problem, and had taken measures to speed things up. Instead, the loading screen times only increased since then (!). Go figure.

    Trying to enter Heist/Sacraments resulted in long loading screen 8/9 times for me yesterday (each lasted 5+ minutes before quitting the game and trying again). Same for friend (probably around 5/8 long loading screens). Everytime someone manages to load into instance everyone can load there like nothing happened.

    Same here. I get very long/infinite loading screens a couple of times almost each session of play. It was like this even before the patch and I saw that people have been complaining about it for years now so I'm very pessimistic about a solution coming anytime soon.

    Was watching Alcast on Twitch last night and saw him take a break whilst porting home and when he returned to keyboard he crashed the game.
    Kind of what I am having to do more often than not.

    PC/EU it has reached the point where it is faster to kill ESO, re-login & enter a house/delve/new zone than to play the game as it should be
    with all the additional ever longer loading screens that this entails it's still faster than waiting on the client when the server has one of the regular issues

    I would hazard a guess that the 2 9 hrs Frankfurt maintenance sessions made this worse rather than better

    YES! I had a few endless load screens yesterday sky shard hunting in Delves. Had to kill ESO and reload. I was playing on EU at the time.

    no, I was talking about ENDLESS. As in several minutes and you still haven't loaded when it usually takes less that 30s. The kinda "endless" where you have to use task manager or windows key to end the program and reload.

    Anyhow it seems to be fixed.

    it is also happening on ps4. when i change characters even being in my own house, the loading is endless so I end up shutting it off and try to reboot in hopes that next time will work...really wish they would fix all this crap instead of adding more crap that we don't need and is worthless like pets that don't nothing but add lag to the game.

    EU-PC, for me it seems to mostly happen on the weekends when porting into instances. Currently staring at the Cradle of Shadow loading screen, been 7 mins at least.

    Since Update 19 the long load screens are back on both my own game @Ragnork and also with @Skogsalf

    We have the same type of PC and play predominantly on EU server
    FPS usually between 60 and 80 Latency <100
    (Noticed huge FPS drops when exiting any wayshrine leading to judders last 10 seconds or so, maybe less maybe more)

    PC EU

    From dxdiag:
    i7-4790 @ 3.6ghz (8 CPUs)
    16GB RAM

    From Windows 10 Disk Management:
    HDD - 2TB NTFS

    Problem:
    Extremely long load screen on entering any delve or trying to port to house. Most times results in crashing the game and re-loading.
